Now unless you are close friends with Marc Jacob, you most likely have little to no plaid in your closet but if you do find your self buying new plaid clothing there are a few hints to make you look your best. Plaid shirt, an easy way to get plaid in your wardrobe, but it doesn’t hold the stylish and classy characteristics of this new trend. Let us go deeper into this bold trend of pattern and put in the form of a dress; or even get a little crazy with plaid pants, if you have the legs for the pants (shown below). But for even the biggest plaid enthusiasts, let us shy away from the bold mixes and matches (as shown above).

At 51 years of age, the great American singer, Madonna has brought her daughter into the world of fashion. Madonna and Lourdes, Madonna’s 13 year-old daughter, have paired up to form a new fashion collection for the youth of America. As Madonna and her new “Material Girl” work on the fashion line, they have told the press that it will be available in Macys and at macys.com.

The line will be offered starting in this coming July, making it its launch just in time for the start of the new school year.

Madonna has told press that between her love for fashion, that she obtain while working with Swedish fashion company H&M, and Lourdes wish to start a fashion line, the choice to help her daughter was an easy one. Help, is the key part of their fashion line, after hearing what she told Us Weekly magazine in an interview; “I’ve been involved in business meetings, but Lola’s really doing the work. I just sit in the corner on my BlackBerry!”

Madonna goes on to tells Us Weekly; “You could say it’s in the DNA — but I could never tell her how to dress!”

And Lourdes fashion skills may just be beginning, as Madonna says, “She also comes to my photo and video shoots, pulls outfits together and gives her input to a lot of my fashion-designer friends. Whether it’s Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney, they always ask her what she thinks.”

At J.Crew’s fall 2010 presentation last night at Milk Studios, the brand showed us how affordable fashion can look like glamorous couture.

The brand showed a beautiful line of textured tweeds and tights and outerwear with Mongolian lamb accents. Jenna Lyons, J.Crew creative director, described the look as “Edie Beale goes to Girl Scout camp.”

And for spring, Lyons likes minimal looks, she states “I love all the paler creams,” she gushed. However, she’s not a fan of the eighties revival. Lyons also recently stated she would love to do a designer collaboration with Christian Louboutin for footwear. Last night she came up with a slew of designers she’d like to work with which includes “Alber Ebaz, Phillip Lim, Riccardo Tisci,” she said. “YSL — I’m dying. I would love to work with Stefano [Pilati]. I’m a huge fashion freak.”

When asked about dreams for any celebrity design collaborations? “I would have to say Cate Blanchett. I love her. She’s not a clone. If everyone is wearing cupcake dresses she’s not wearing a cupcake dress, she’s wearing something totally different. Or Maggie Gyllenhaal, I love Maggie Gyllenhaal. She looked incredible at the Oscars in that Dries little column dress.”

Well we have to thank J.Crew for the beautiful fall presentation- it looks spectacular! We can’t wait for the line to come out in stores so we can model these stylish and affordable threads.

The young 28-year old actress, Jessica Alba is going to use her celebrity fashion wisdom on the hit show “Project Runway.”

Kannie Yu LaPack, a spokeswoman for Lifetime, explains that Jessica will be a guest judge on Tomorrow’s, April 1st, episode of the of this competitive clothing-design show.

And now Alba will hold power over a challenge in which the final six challengers have to create outfits for an “opinionated celebrity,” later to be revialed as show’s host, Heidi Klum.

Other guest judges this season have included Nicole Richie, Molly Sims and Lauren Hutton.
